Does anyone have any news about the three Z-10 helicopters - how are they performing and what the pilots think of them?

Returned to China and no deal for now.

Hmmm! That means PAA must think for immediate alternative availability to fill in gap as cobras are getting old and requirements are soaring day by day.

I don't think AH-1Zs confirmed either, was an offer from US. Nevertheless we wont find out anything until the last moment, military isnt sleeping, they keep induction plans under wraps because India nearly shits itself no matter what we buy.

Was reading up on improved WZ-10 in the works, apparently current ones are a bit under powered.
